This dress is so divinely comfortable! It's not quite jersey, but pretty close, and I love that about it. I feel like with some jersey dresses the fabric is almost too forgiving, and they show all kinds of lumps and bumps that are probably best left un-shown. But the fabric here provides just enough structure and swing to remedy that, while still being loose and flowing.

Every time I wear this dress I have the overpowering urge to wear a looonnng necklace (see remix link for another one!). Something about the neckline and simplicity of the garment begs for a long, showy strand necklace. So I used a second necklace to lengthen my darling anchor necklace today (a bit a la E. of Academichic). I was originally looking for another silver chain to make a seamless look with the longer necklace, but my eye caught on this navy one and I tried out the two-tone look. I like how it plays off the blue from the sash on the dress. I feel like it almost gives the whole outfit a nautical feeling.
